We have been hosting our website with the Positive Internet Company since
1999: Positive have helped us grow our site from small beginnings and
double our site traffic year-on-year.

We started out with an account on one of Positive's shared servers: when we
needed to upgrade to a dedicated server for a major media event
(www.bfi.org.uk/tv100) and the launch of discussion boards, Positive
had the server ready at short notice and worked with our developers
to get everything ready on time. Since then, our dedicated server has
run smoothly, logging continuous uptimes in excess of a year.

Positive's platform is both robust and flexible for our needs: their Open Source
architecture is backed up by a deep and detailed knowledge of Linux
and Apache: our server is fine-tuned to our needs and not just
another NT-server-out-of-a-box. PHP, Perl and MySQL make it easy to
develop new applications on the site, and to find developers who will
write quality code. Upgrades to the latest versions of the software
are always done quickly and transparently.

Positive'seyes are always peeled for potential security risks: if an Apache or
PHP hole is discovered, it's likely that I'll hear of it first from
Positive who are telling me they've patched it or upgraded. I'm
confident that with Positive, our server is as safe from
mischief-makers as it's possible to be.

Positive's support and helpdesk systems are exemplary: their email support
system keeps track of queries so that none are ever lost, and as a
dedicated server customer, I can always get through to them on the
phone in an emergency. The staff, whoever I talk to, are always
helpful, and if there's anything they can't help me with, they'll
find a colleague who can.

As a public sector body, we look for value for money, which Positive has
never failed to provide. I'd recommend Positive's dedicated service
to anyone who takes their organisation's web presence seriously.
